- Synopsis
- A leading figure in the theatre, Keith Johnstone lays bare his techniques and exercises to foster spontaneity and narrative skill foractors. These techniques and exercises were evolved in the actors'studio, when he was Associate Director of the Royal Court and then indemonstrations to schools and colleges and ultimately in the founding of a company of performers called The Theatre Machine. Divided into four sections, Status, Spontaneity, NarrativeSkills and Masks and Trance, arranged more or less in the order agroup might approach them, the book sets out the specific approaches which Johnstone has himself found most useful and most stimulating. The result is a fascinating exploration of the nature of spontaneous creativity.
